Hi Ken



That reminds me of a peculiarity in QS jargon - The first moiety of retention ....

Hi Mike,



Here’s one I had to look up recently;



"We respond to your points seriatim"



Seriatim = in the same order as presented.......

Hi Roger



Well spotted - the two letters are next door to each other and it wasn’t a bad attempt at a 3 gin thread.



Best regards

Mike, I think that the word is "Imbroglio" - I use it quite a bit.



I am also fond of the word "outwith", meaning outside, which annoys a number of my Sassenach colleagues!

And of course, I use the word "niggardly" which confuses the Americans...!

Hi David



I am not surprised that England are out.



I went to the HK sevens a couple of times and England never even sent a team.



All the same I still support England and any team playing Scotland.



Best regards

Keep it simple for the Jocks abroad please mate.



p.s. Did I tell you England got hoofed out of the 7’s World Cup?



Cheers,



Davie.
